"Why did you freeze when you saw that guy's Nen beast? Were you scared by a Nen beast?"
Gon, clutching his head in pain, finally remembered what he'd seen the previous day. He lowered his hand and looked at Bisky.
Bisky's expression softened as she noticed Gon's distress. "Gon, are you alright? Did you hit your head?"
"Bisky," Gon began slowly, pausing for several seconds before continuing, "The reason I froze when I saw that Nen beast was..."
"That Nen beast... was Loki's ability."
Bisky's eyes widened in surprise. "Really?"
Gon nodded hesitantly. "I'm sure. I've seen that ability before. It was Loki's ability; I'm certain. I wondered why Yohane Kurama seemed so familiar. He's Loki."
After Gon's confession, Bisky froze. She finally understood why Loki had suddenly attacked him: because she, too, was connected to Chairman Netero.
Loki's inexplicable attack could only be explained by this.
He'd intentionally knocked Gon unconscious to prevent him from revealing Loki's true identity.
Bisky hadn't imagined that Loki, the person who had brought shame upon the Hunter Association, had been right in front of her without her noticing.
Bisky bowed her head. "We must inform the Hunter Association immediately."
Gon scratched his head. "Inform the Association...?"
"Gon! I don't know your relationship with that... Loki. As professional Hunters, we've discovered a major wanted criminal; we must report this to the Hunter Association."
Hearing Bisky's words, Gon felt strangely relieved.
Gon and Bisky's reports, identifying Loki as a high-priority S-class wanted criminal currently on Greed Island, arrived at the Hunter Association. This news was unexpected.
Upon hearing this, Cheadle Yorkshire, one of the Zodiacs, stormed to Netero's ward, summoning Ging.
He threw the reports from Razor and Bisky in Ging's face.
"This is your doing! No wonder even with the Hunter Association's intelligence network, we couldn't find any useful information. That brat was hiding in your crappy game!"
Ging, suddenly summoned, was still a little confused.
After hearing Cheadle Yorkshire's words, he picked up the report and read it. After a moment, he smiled. "So that brat was attracted to my game. I knew my game was awesome!"
Ging's nonchalant attitude infuriated Cheadle Yorkshire even more. "Idiot, am I talking about your game?"
"Aren't I?"
Seeing Ging's unrepentant attitude, Cheadle Yorkshire trembled with rage. "Aren't you the game developer? Can't you trap him?"
"You're a Nen user too. Do you really need to ask?"
"No! I checked Greed Island's data. The game allows for instant movement. Can you teleport him to Hunter Association headquarters, or my designated location?"
Ging waved his hand dismissively. "Impossible! Cheadle Yorkshire, have you lost your mind? Every ability has corresponding conditions."
Cheadle Yorkshire, upon hearing Ging's explanation, calmed down slightly. Ging couldn't have known about this criminal's presence beforehand, so he wouldn't have designed such an ability.
As Cheadle Yorkshire was asking Ging about capturing or killing Loki, an Association member rushed to him.
"The Vice Chairman's team received news about Loki and has already begun their operation."
Upon hearing this, Cheadle Yorkshire punched the corridor wall, creating a large hole. "Idiots! Who authorized them to act unilaterally? They're all fools! Can those Vice Chairman's trash handle a monster like Loki?!"
Ging smiled. "You can't blame them. Whose fault is it that your intelligence was compromised?"
The leak indicated that the Vice Chairman's faction had infiltrated the Chairman's. Otherwise, such important information wouldn't have leaked so quickly.
Cheadle Yorkshire, his face flushed after being rebuked again by Ging, glared at him before hurrying away, presumably to confront the Vice Chairman's team.
Ging smiled and re-entered Netero's ward. Looking at Netero, whose aura was slowly strengthening, he said, "It looks like he'll recover in about five days."
"We got the One- Restricted Coastline card. Should we continue conquering Greed Island?" Hisoka asked Loki as they walked down a dark path.
Loki, walking forward, looked up. Pakunoda emerged from the path ahead. They had collected the second special card. The system's mission—collecting special cards—had only one left: 'Ruler's Blessing.'
As Loki had expected, obtaining this card required collecting ninety-nine specific pocket cards to trigger the event. There was no need to rush. The 'Game Player Purge' mission was Loki's priority.
Loki looked at Hisoka, Pakunoda, and Goreinu. "Others call us violent players. Let's act like them."
Loki raised his hand. "Seize cards, conquer this game quickly, and purge the useless players." He looked towards Masadora. "Let's start with Masadora!"
Masadora's department store was a popular location with many players, a unique and irreplaceable place.
"Finally, a massacre! It's the first time I've seen you so bloodthirsty!" Hisoka smiled, his cold aura like a chilling wind.
Pakunoda looked at Loki in surprise. She'd noticed that Loki's killings weren't random; there was always a reason. But this time, it seemed purely for the sake of killing. Conquering the game and killing were normal, but purging useless players... Pakunoda didn't understand. She found Loki's actions strange.
Of the four, only Goreinu felt uncomfortable. He wasn't a bloodthirsty demon. Killing made him uneasy, but he dared not object. Any one of Hisoka or Pakunoda could kill him without Loki's intervention.
As Loki prepared for the player purge...
